1 file + 3 pens = $32.85 --------------- (1)
2 files + 8 pens = $83.50 ----------------(2)
(1) x 2 :
2 files + 6 pens = $65.70 ----------------(1a)
(2) - (1a) :
2 pens = $17.80
1 pen = $8.90
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: One pen costs $8.90.

Answer:

Weight of the truck=9408 N
Step-by-step explanation:
Boat is experiencing the buoyant force as it is in the water and is sinking
According to the force balance in y direction. As both is floating, two forces balance each other:

where:
is the buoyant force
is the weight=mg
Eq (1)
Buoyant force is equal to the mass of water displaced * gravitational acceleration.

Taking density of water to be 1000 Kg/m^3

From Eq(1):

Weight of the truck=9408 N
Step-by-step explanation:
P(t) = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)
9,000 = 12,000 (2)^(-t/15)
0.75 = 2^(-t/15)
ln(0.75) = ln(2^(-t/15))
ln(0.75) = (-t/15) ln(2)
-15 ln(0.75) / ln(2) = t
t = 6.23
Answer: We can arrange the steps with help of below explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here ABC is a triangle,
Draw a perpendicular from BD to side AC ( construction)
where 
In the right triangle BCD, from the definition of cosine:
cos C =CD/ BC
CD= a cos C
Subtracting this from the side b, we see that
DA= b-acos C
In the triangle BCD, from the definition of sine:
sin C =BD / a
BD = a sin C
In the triangle ADB, applying the Pythagorean Theorem
Substituting for BD and DA from (2) and (3)
⇒
( On simplification)
⇒
⇒
⇒
(because,
)
C.) Old Price: $148.80; New Prices: $142.60
Using The Formula Given
M = O x P = O + M
Markup Value After 20% Is $148.80
Markup Value After 15% is $142.60
